Lyrics
Her name still burns when the night gets cold Like a brand on my skin that won't let go
I tried to wash it out, I tried to hide
But it lives in the blood, I can't deny
Her name still burns like a southern flame
Every whisper cuts me the same
I can run, but I can't unlearn
The way her name still burns
Your name's in the mail on an old stained bill
I tore it in half, but it lingers still
It's carved on the desk where we used to write
A ghost and a grain that won't fade with time
I hear it whispered when the radio plays
Every sad song somehow finds your face
And I choke on the letters when I try to speak Cause the sound of it leaves me weak
Her name still burns when the night gets cold Like a brand on my skin that won't let go
I tried to wash it out, I tried to hide
But it lives in the blood, I can't deny
Her name still burns like a southern flame
Every whisper cuts me the same
I can run, but I can't unlearn
The way her name still burns
It's etched in the mirror with the steam run down Fog on the glass makes the letters drown
But I see it clear in the smoke I breathe
Every drag of a cigarette dispels your grief
The bartender calls out a tab, not mine
But the sound of it shakes me every time
It's on strangers' lips in a crowd too loud
And it follows me home like a storm blower
Her name still burns when the night gets cold Like a brand on my skin that won't let go
I tried to wash it out, I tried to hide
But it lives in the blood, I can't deny
Her name still burns like a southern flame
Every whisper cuts me the same
I can run, but I can't unlearn
The way her name still burns
It's a scar I trace in the dark alone
A wound that seems like it's carved in stone
I don't say it out loud, but it haunts me whole
Her name still burns my soul
Her name still burns when the night gets cold Like a brand on my skin that won't let go
I tried to wash it out, I tried to hide
But it lives in the blood, I can't deny
Her name still burns like a southern flame
Every whisper cuts me the same
I can run, but I can't unlearn
The way her name still burns
